Prajwala

In every city, town or village there are women and young girls who due to economic compulsions and socio-cultural factors are rendered option-less, making them vulnerable to deception or fraudulent means of traffickers. Lack of education makes them more vulnerable than others. For those unfortunate victims who are already prey to the flesh trade, the lives of their children is a matter of immense concern. These children stigmatized by society are vulnerable to be subjected to exploitative conditions without any hope for re-integration. In order to prevent sex trafficking and inter-generational prostitution through education, 17 transition centers have been started for vulnerable children who live in poor localities. The centers function as educational environments which not only foster the overall development of the children but also equip them with the necessary psychosocial and scholastic skills to ensure a bright future that breaks the cycles of poverty and social exclusion. The centers are also bridging spaces to mainstream children into education in regular schools. After completing 7th class from the Prajwala schools, children subsequently enroll in local private or government schools to complete their 10th standard and beyond. This will help break the cycle of inter-generational prostitution. The funds provided by this donation will help us to assist a child, of a woman in prostitution, in getting quality education in our `Learning Centers` by providing for their uniform and schools supplies. The donation will be utilised to buy 2 sets of uniform and to buy text books, 1 school bag, 3 pens, 5 notebooks and 1 pair of shoes. 2 sets of uniform – Rs. 700 Text books – Rs. 300 School bag – Rs. 200 3 Pens – Rs. 15 5 Note Books – Rs. 100 1 pair of shoes – Rs. 200 Total Cost – Rs. 1515 per child
